Abstract
An inclinable measuring head for use in a coordinate measuring machine or in another measure system. The inclinable head has a support element and a probe holder rotatably linked to the support element by a spherical joint that is capable of being rotated about three independent axes. The measuring head further includes a position encoder providing relative orientation of the probe holder with respect to the support element, and an actuator arranged for orienting the probe holder relative to the support element.
